Landmark School	EMPLOYER PROFILE
____________________________________________________________________________

Landmark is a coeducational, private, residential high school for students with language based learning disabilities. We also have an Elementary/Middle School program which is a day program. We are situated twenty miles north of Boston on Massachusetts’ historic North Shore. There are currently 310 students attending the high school campus and 145 students attending the elementary middle school campus at Landmark, which makes us one of the largest and most highly respected schools for students with learning disabilities in the nation. Students at the school come from a variety of national, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. Each student has average to above average intelligence, but also has a language based learning disability that has made education a very difficult process. Landmark takes pride in remediating (teaching) the basic skills while still immersing the student in a challenging curriculum. Most students have a seven period school day that includes classes in math, social studies, science, language arts, a one to one language arts tutorial and two other classes that meet the student’s individual needs. The language arts tutorial is a one to one class in which a curriculum is designed specifically for that student’s language needs and abilities. There is also a prep school at the high school campus that does follow a more traditional school curriculum but focuses more closely on writing and study skills. In addition to the one to one tutorial class, the sizes of all other classes range from three to ten students. This provides for a small student to teacher ratio that allows for optimal learning. Most new teachers teach a combination of tutorials and larger classes. In both cases, there are great intrinsic rewards as the students make more progress at Landmark than they had anywhere else.
